Amid the many questions you asked concerned the events at the capitol on January 6th and you write in part this, i would venture to say i think it was the largest crowd i had ever spoken to before, trump said. It was a loving crowd, too, by the way. There was a lot of love. In all fairness, the Capitol Police were ushering people in, trump said. The Capitol Police were very friendly. They were hugging and kissing. You dont see that. Theres plenty of tape on that. Okay. I dont know where to begin but why dont we back up and carol, if you could fill us in on why you think he invited you to maralago a

They used that american flag to bludgeon, nearly to death, Police Officers. Right. And he told them to go to the capitol and get tougher on congress, to stop the certification. He told them and, of course, Don Junior said something about, were comin
